[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave my son 500 a month but that included golfing, going to sporting events and concerts.

I don’t pay for Starbucks or alcohol, but I will pay for chipotle or Chick-fil-A twice a week.

That’s insane [/quote]

1 golf game is $100 and tickets to a concert or sport event with his girlfriend and dinner is $200. That’s 1 date a month. [/quote]

Hanging out at your house is free.  Or he can get a job and pay for his dates[/quote]

You’d rather my kid hang in our basement with his girlfriend than take her on a proper date at least once a month. Or catch a capitals game once a month with his friends? No wonder young men are such a mess now a days.

You think he should give up golfing?

You think he should quit coaching kids and being a special Olympics unified partner to “get a job”?

The whole question was for kids who can’t work right now due to school/sports/volunteering. It wasn’t for slackers hanging in moms basement.[/quote]

I am clapping and cheering your parenting. Thank you for raising a son correctly and thank you for teaching him to give of himself to others. He has all of his life to work, volunteering is super important and not enough kids do it or are taught to do it. Keep up the great work and let the haters hate, IMO it shows you are on the right path.[/quote]
